Experience King Tides In Manhattan Beach With The Roundhouse Aquarium

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — The Roundhouse Aquarium on the Manhattan Beach Pier is inviting the community to experience the King Tide firsthand this weekend.

The term "King Tide" is used to describe very high tides caused when there is alignment of the gravitational pull between the sun, moon and Earth. The high tides occur naturally and are predictable, according to the California Coastal Commission.

"Team up with the Roundhouse Aquarium to document the powerful impact of the King Tide. Your participation will contribute to the California Coastal Commission’s King Tide Project," the Roundhouse Aquarium said in a statement.

The King Tide watch event is free and open to people of all ages and will take place on Dec. 15 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The aquarium will provide hot chocolate and pastries.

The King Tide Event is hosted by the Roundhouse Aquarium and is sponsored by Chevron and the Port of Long Beach.
